My bulldog has a good nose he will wind a hog if it's close... But speed and endurance he just don't have it. None of the pits or ab dogs I've had were capable of being anything more than a catch dog because they just get wore out too easy... And ive owned a whole bunch,
What bloodlines have you owned?
Just last friday night we had a bay break just after turning the bulldogs to it. Had a young gyp full vest and collar run with the curs for about 30 minutes before we caught up to them. Ended up catching a different hog with her about 20 minutes later. Speed, wind and athleticism is something that I require from my bulldogs. It was 87 degrees when we got in the trucks to head home at 3:30 am. The dogs are out there, you just have to know where to go to get them.
